@faraz_r_khan Also I don't think chat gpt can build hardware yet :)

[aaron nathan @AaronMNathan]

@faraz_r_khan If you can avoid building the hardware sure. But if the hardware is an unlock for a software win, you get a moat of "common advice" your competitors are getting :)

[aaron nathan @AaronMNathan]

@faraz_r_khan Maybe this is true if you're building trivial hardware (i.e. dumb but profitable iot devices). In general v1s need to be done quick turn and domestic wins. V2s are great to outsource cost downs and better dfm practices.

[aaron nathan @AaronMNathan]

This is a wonderful thing to see.

We need to immediately start scaling these kind of technologies to mass market vehicles, which will require at scale hd maps, order of magnitude reduction in sensor costs and use of more sensor modalities than "just camera or just lidar".

@AlexRoy144 I think the word is "stupid"

[aaron nathan @AaronMNathan]

@aseidman @Hivemapper Very cool, let us help you clean it up and make it pro :)

@AlexRoy144 Terminator (the original)

[aaron nathan @AaronMNathan]

@RJScaringe Nicely done!

[aaron nathan @AaronMNathan]

@faraz_r_khan A kids power wheels and RTK...obviously.

[aaron nathan @AaronMNathan]

dall-e and midjourney doing amazing things in GFX/VFX...but I still can't reliably remove the background from product photos :/

@SafeSelfDrive The secret is with driverless cars (polite rule abiding drivers) cycling gets infinitely safer and thus open to more.

[aaron nathan @AaronMNathan]

@SafeSelfDrive Even as a cyclist, the cargo bike scratches a different itch. It's not that you need a different company, it's that you need the ecosystem to make it work. If someone steals you 8k cargo bike at the Safeway, you're currently SOL.

@reillybrennan @johnvoelcker @CalEnergy @EVAdoptionTweet Tesla knows how hard it is to make mechanical bits and bobs (including touchscreens) reliable by experience. Minimal systems are how you build reliable infra at scale.

@wolfejosh The shift from 2 to 3 is one of the greatest things to happen to startups in a long time.

@mcwm It's actually a really efficient way to cook a potato and aside from skin, tastes same as baked.

[aaron nathan @AaronMNathan]

@Suhail This literally happens all the time.

@mttgrmm @JakeWoodTR Then a massive secondary market will emerge for IOUs. Someone is gonna make a lot of money.
